Sorry for asking the same old question a million newbies have asked before but I have searched through the old threads for guidance and just wanted to check that I am approaching this the right way.
I have been stocking up on expired / close to expired slide and black and white sheet film (as I have been able to get some quite good deals) and freezing it. I am now looking to thaw some of it out. From looking at the old threads am I right in thinking that
1. I get the film out the freezer (always a good starting point)
2. I put it in a freezer bag / ziplock bag (with possibly some silica gel packets to absorb moisture)
3. I leave it out overnight at room temperature or put it in the fridge
4. It should then be o.k to use after 7-8 hours?
5. Once thawed / the box has been opened I can not / should not refreeze it
If I am not missing anything out above, does this generally mean that it is not recommended to get one or two sheets out at a time and load them into a film holder to thaw and then putting the rest back in the freezer before they defrost?
Thanks, and apologies for the lame questions!
